I agree, but will also observe that if the goal was improved dialogue and 
understanding of the issues, I cannot fathom a worse process than the 
one provided by the ITU at WCIT for accomplishing such.   As a sector 
member present at the meeting, there were many occasions where more
common ground may have been found, if actual forthright discussion of 
the underlying problems and solutions being proposed via particular text
were allowed.  Instead, the process was epic tragedy of closed private
meetings and procedural games, with quite predictable results.
